Weo Is HE ?—If you see a fussy little I man at your front door with his coat collar turned up and his hat sheered over his left ear, do not set the dog ou him. He is not an impudent dun, or $ tax collector, or a tramp, or a new and indespensible patent, or even a mission- ary; he is only the man who wishes to ascertain your eldest daughter's age. So deal gently with the census taker.— [Ex aker.— [Ex LITSRARY SNRAK THIEVES. —We have been informed that certain persons make a habit of visiting the Mechanics' Insti- tute library and carrying off periodicals, etc. It is high time this petty meanness and dishonesty on the part of these persons was stopped.

He came from the county of Sligo, Ireland, and settled in Goderich in 1839. He was one of the first councillors in the town, and at one time ran quite an ex- tenaive shoo business.

Detlor & CO. on our fifth page. A great clearing sale is advertised, and quotations are given which will strike every reader with astonishment. A bona jtde reduction in price has been made on the goods, and the public can calculate on bargains. The firm is one of the oldest and most reliable in town, ank their name to any advertisement is a guarantee of good faith. Scan the list of bargains; and then go at once to the store of J. C. Detlor & Co., and view the goods. The sale will continuo for two weeks, but as the first who go to the store will be the first served, all who would enjoy the privelege of the best se- lection should not fail to visit J. C. Det- lor & Co. early. PasassrArio:ff—On Wednesday ev- ening an interesting occurrence took Fplace after the regular meeting of the ire Brigade at their rooms in the Fire Hall. On that occasion the Chief of the Brigade, Captain T. N. Dancey, was pre- sented with a handsome silver fruit basket and butter cooler. The present- ation was made on behalf of the Brigade by Lieut. McKenzie, and appropriate remarks were spoken by Fireman John Mnrtin. Capt. Dencey, on rising to re- spond. said: Members of the Fire Brig- ade, allow me to tender you my most sincere thanks for the very handsome present you have placed before me, hut notlbeing aware until this moment that I was to he the recipient of this beauti- ful donation, 1 feel inadequate to the task o.1 making a suitable reply.

What Ws Saw amid Heard There about Thoroughbred ausek-The asestess that has attended Mr Aurora E8erta. Inunediately opposite Goderich, end on the northern bank of the Maitland, is situated " Ridgewood Farm," the pro- perty of H. Y. Attrill Esq. The farm occupies some four hundred acres, and is finely situated, and within easy distance of the town. For some years back Mr. Attrill's name haa been identified with the breeding of thoroughbred stock, and at the different agricultural fairs of Ontario hie name has become as "fami- liar as a honeehold word." On Tuesday of last week we paid a visit to "Iii •wood," and were kindly shown over the premises by Mr. David Hain, the obliging and energetic mana- ger of the stock yard and farm. The cattle sheds forma court as it were, be- ing composed of two wings and a Hain extension, while a mammoth shed and barn occupies a considerable portion of the fourth side of the "Court. Entering at the left hand side of the range of buildings, we were shown the magnificent herd of Princesses for which "Ridgewood" has become noted. Here we found,Red Rose 14th, RdRose 16th, Red Rose 17th, Red Rose 20th, Red Rose 21st, Red Row 22nd, Princess Carlotta, Red Rose 23rd, Princess Clar- ence and other magnificent cows and heifers. Besides these the splendid ani- mals, Red Rose 15th, Lady Ann, Prin- cess of the Valley, Princess of Ridge- wood and Princess of Airdrie were ab- sent at Bow Park for breeding purposes. Mr. Attrill has also a number of the Princess tribe with his Port Huron herd, prominent among which are Red Rose 13th, Red Rase 18th and Red Rose 19th. Inaddition to the Princess herd Mr. At - trill has a tine lot of the Duchess and Princess -Duchess breed, but we under- stand it is his intentii.n to dispose of the latter herds and devote his attention to the pure Princess strain. With this ob- ject in view, on Friday last some forty- one head were shipped to Chicago, where a great public sale of thoroughbred cat- tle will take place on Friday, April 15th. The following are among the animals which Mr. Attnll intends to dispose of, and it will be seen by the list that some very fine breeding cows and heifers, as well as well-known bulla will be on sale on that occasion: Cows and heifers -- Dachas of Dereham 9th, Duchess of Denham 14th, Cambridge 13th, Pimper- nel 2nd, Imp. Airy Buckingham, Imp. Dorothy, Viscountess 2nd, Adeliza 3rd, Duchess 26th of Woodhill, Airdrie Sera- phim, Adeliza 6th, Gay Lady, :Satin, Hobe 4th, Bebe 5th, Milkmaid, Lady Lily, Duchess 25th of Woodhill, Oak- wood Gwynne, Hobe 7th and others; bulls --Earl of Antrim, Earl of Staf- ford Earl of Springwood and Duke .of Elmhurst. Everything about "Ridgewood" indi- cates that no expense haa been spared by the proprietor to make it a model tho- roughbred breeding farm. The hest men that money can bin have been m- oored to superintend the care and breed- ing of loris of the finest inmate in America, and -ve hope that Mr Attrill's laudable et(rte to improve and keep pare the thoroughbred settle which he bee aide a specialty 'f, will be profit able as well se pleasant to him Although the sheds and stabling at "Ridgewood • are already of (extensive proportion, we owderstand it is the in- tonation of the proprietor during the en- suing wminer tn erect additional build- ings et • coat of some $15,000, sothat the large additions to his herd whish lie meats ere lewg, will we be eireueneslib- ed in their Baits.

A RISE IN BEEF. Ear Tests Mtehes• add Another Lena w Female to the Pries et Edible /heap. Some time ago, when beef was in great demand, and prices were eorrss- pondingly dear, • facetious reporter stated that that article of diet was never so high since the cow jumped over the moon ! It was reported last week that the meat dealers in town were about to trip the price of that article a cent per pound. A few days ago, a SIGNAL reporter called upon Mr. Steve Andrews, one of our leading butchers, and asked • "Is it true that meat is up a cent a pound, Mr. Andrews 1" '"Yee," replied the other, as he aseid- uoualychopped at a log of mutton.with a cleaver. What's the cause 1" asked the reporter, anxious to get the reason from a but- cher's lip& It's the Old Country trade," was the response. "You see there's been a great demand for heavy beef, and our farmers sell their fattest and best cattle for ex- portation. The demand is strong, and only the smaller animals are kept for home consumption." And Mr. Andrews, who is not a man of many words, returned to his mutton. Marine Mews. The ice is still in the harbor, and the opening of navigation here is a thing of the uncertain future. The diver who went over to Pelee Is- land to fix up the tug Sampson has re- turned to Sandusky, having patched up the leak. The steam barge Coral has been sold by Capt. H. Ives, of Windsor, to Stoke & Tiffin, of \\'allaceburg, for $5,500. She will be engaged in the carrying trade between Dresden and Buffalo. The sun crossed the line with norther- ly and westerly winds prevailing. Ob l salts predict that for the ninety days following such winds will be the most prevalent, and numerous instances are cited of such prognostic•tions proving Correct. Carr. MCARTHUR left Goderich os Monday last for Detroit to take charge of the propellor Samuel F. Hodge, a fin.4 new boat launched in January last. She will run between Buffalo and Duluth, and is considered one of the best on the lakes. Dunbar's drill, o,It the Limekiln*, which went to work last week, was on Friday morning early, by the explosion of a cartridge, sunk and damaged to the extent of 6500. She has been raised and hauled out on the ways for repairs. She will be out again in a few days, as will also the dredges. 0o1boraa. Mr. James Jones and William C. Robertson cut 16 cords of maple wood out of the solid tree in 17 hours with a champion saw. Let as hear from the boys in the bush. Mr. Thomas Lawler intends building • cider press this season for which he has the timber ready. He does not like to see the farmers going 5 or 10 miles with their apples, when they can be made into cider much nearer. The quarterly services in connection with the B. C. Church were held at Zion appointment on Sunday 3rd inst. The Rev. Mr. Webber from Exeter eon ducted the services both morning and evening. The congregations on both occasions were very large and the ser mons were very forcible and were atten- tively listened to. The following is the result of the ex- amination held in S. S. No. 4, T.
